The swamp, no one wants to set foot in it, accidentally fall into it, and no one else can help it, so you can only wait for death in despair. And the most dangerous are the various animals that infest the swamps, which lurk beneath the floating soil and wait for an opportunity to launch a deadly attack on their prey. There is also a deadly miasma in the swamp, which drifts in the wind and cannot be avoided.

It was impossible to retreat now, and the pursuers followed behind, looking at the dark red swamp, and could only grit their teeth and walk forward. Cutting a long branch and discerning the direction, Haolin walked east along the edge of the swamp and forest, first touching back to the main road.

Poisonous toads, poisonous snakes, and mud pits can be seen everywhere along the way, but fortunately, a long stick is enough to deal with it, but Haolin did not dare to relax his vigilance, and his nerves always remained highly tense, so he walked all morning.

Just after Haolin carefully passed through a piece of floating soil, two yellow points of light suddenly flashed in the corners of his eyes, and before he could take a closer look, they disappeared again. Haolin suddenly stopped and looked carefully, but he didn't find anything abnormal.

Without hurrying, Haolin tried his best to look at every place in his sight, and finally found that not far from the left front, the soil was slightly different from the others, and the layers were like scales. stared at it for a while, but Haolin still planned to go around, this kind of place, no matter how careful he was.

Two eyes that emitted a dim yellow light came out of the ground, quickly approaching like Haolin, and Haolin immediately turned around and ran. didn't take a few steps, the movement behind him became bigger and bigger, Haolin could only stop helplessly, in this swamp, he couldn't run at all, he couldn't shake it off, he could only fight.

Turning around and pulling out the dagger, he carefully looked at the monster facing each other, and Hao Lin remembered an animal in the "Beast Chapter" of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas": "Burning mud iron crocodile, carnivorous, mostly seen in swamps, adults can reach three meters, dark blue, soft and slightly yellow belly, wide and long mouth, yellow eyes, sharp teeth, like sawtooth, covered in scale armor, layered like iron, limbs short and powerful, tail hooked, extremely sharp, encounter the enemy or sharp teeth to bite and swallow, or use the tail halberd to eat." There are also records related to burning mud iron crocodiles in the "Book of Medicine": "Burning mud crocodile gall, shaped like a cone, yellowish in color, bitter and astringent in taste, detoxifying, calming heat, and going to the new one, can be used in medicine and alchemy." ”

The mud-burning iron crocodile in front of him was about the same length as Hao Lin, and he was staring at Hao Lin motionlessly.

"It has scale armor on its body, the dagger will definitely not be able to pierce, although the abdomen is soft, but it sticks to the ground, and it can't attack, it seems that it can only find a way to pierce its eyes, stab its eyes, and then wait for an opportunity to escape. Haolin quickly thought about countermeasures, and after experiencing the horse thief, Haolin found that although force can solve the problem, it is easier to use his brain.

After a confrontation for a while, the burning mud iron crocodile lost patience, rushed up, tilted his head, opened his big mouth, Hao Lin quickly flashed to the left, dodging the crocodile's mouth, the tail of the burning mud iron crocodile on the ground suddenly rose up at this time, bent into a barb, and stabbed at Hao Lin, Hao Lin jumped up vigorously, dodging the sharp tail.

Just landed and stood firm, the mud-burning iron crocodile rushed over again, this time did not open its mouth, but the speed was faster, directly at Haolin's legs, Haolin's legs were slightly bent, the cat was waisted, holding the dagger back, seeing the opportunity, a dodge, dodging the iron crocodile's collision, and then stabbed hard at one of the iron crocodile's eyes, the mud-burning iron crocodile quickly closed its eyes, shook its head slightly, and the dagger stabbed on the iron crocodile's head, sending out a "bell" The sound bounced away, shaking Haolin's wrist numb, a blow missed, Haolin was about to dodge, suddenly there was a sharp pain in his ankle, he lost his center of gravity, and fell to the ground hard, he was careful enough, but he was still swept by the iron crocodile tail.

The clay burning iron crocodile stared at Haolin, twisted his body, and slowly crawled towards Haolin, who also struggled to stand up, but one foot did not obey the call.

Looking at the iron crocodile's sharp teeth and the saliva flowing from the corners of his mouth, Haolin smelled the smell of death, but Haolin did not give up, and it was not his style to admit cowardice.

The mud-burning iron crocodile didn't give Haolin much time to think, and he rushed forward, opened his big mouth, and was about to bite down on Haolin's leg.

Haolin propped up his body with one hand, held the dagger with the other, and stabbed it into the crocodile's mouth with all his strength, and thrust it into the upper jaw.

Haolin is ready to be bitten off an arm, the lesser of two evils, it is better to break an arm than to die.

The dagger pierced deeply into the upper jaw of the iron crocodile, the mouth of the iron crocodile closed weakly, the sharp teeth only pierced Haolin's arm, carefully withdrew his hand, moved it, it was no big deal, Haolin couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, this is the eyes inadvertently glimpsed two figures standing next to him, masked, but from the slender figure, it can be seen that it is two women, Haolin subconsciously clenched his fists, in this dangerous swamp, two masked women appeared, it is really vigilant: "Is there something wrong?"

"Hehe......" A masked woman let out a sneer: "I just saved you, is it necessary to look at me like an enemy?"

Haolin frowned: "You saved me?"

The masked woman didn't speak, turned over the burning mud iron crocodile, took out a dagger, swiped it lightly on her belly, skillfully took out the bitter gall, put it into the jade bottle, and got up to leave.

At this time, Haolin found a small hole in the jaw of the burning mud iron crocodile, which was bubbling out with blood, and turned the iron crocodile over, and there was also a small hole in the iron crocodile's head.

"Thank you for saving your life. Hao Lin shouted at the two masked women in the distance, one of whom froze slightly, and continued to walk forward slowly.

As if remembering something, Haolin shouted loudly again: "Can you wait for me? I'm going over there too, let's go together." "Just kidding, without using any weapons, he killed the scaly iron crocodile, such a master must keep up.

The two women glanced at each other, muttered a few words, one of them quickly left first, Haolin endured the severe pain, limped and chased after him, and the masked woman who stayed behind also seemed to be waiting for Haolin, deliberately slowing down.

"What are you doing with me?" said the masked woman without looking back.

Haolin felt a stomach in his heart, aren't you just waiting for me, otherwise you would have run away. But he said, "Thank you for saving your life." I'm just going to go east, and I'll talk to you along the way. ”

"Follow me, when I am a free bodyguard?" the masked woman pierced Haolin's mind.

Haolin couldn't help but smile, and said, "Thank you so much just now, thank you from the bottom of my heart, if it weren't for you, one of my arms would be gone." ”

"No thanks, if you can keep up, you can follow. After the woman finished speaking, she deliberately quickened her pace.

Haolin was speechless, gritted his teeth and chased after him, limping helplessly, and could only watch the masked woman go farther and farther.

"Beep... Beep..."Xiaofu screamed and fell from the sky, landing on Haolin's shoulder, Haolin's shoulder shook, trying to shake off Xiaofu, Xiaofu grabbed Haolin's clothes with one claw, Haolin did not succeed.

"You scourge, you caused the trouble, you want me to take the blame, if there is a next time, I will strip you of your hair!. ”

"Beep..."

Along the way, Haolin's mind came alive: "The voice of this man in black is so familiar, it seems that I have heard it somewhere." ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Haolin finally remembered that this voice was very similar to the girl he had seen in his room last time.

"Hey, girl, wait for me, we seem to have met!"

"I don't know you when I see you big-headed ghost!" said the masked woman.

It's really that girl, Haolin affirmed it now: "This is the second time we've met, once we're born and twice acquainted, we're also acquaintances, you see me like this, can't you help me, ouch." Haolin stumbled under his feet and sat on the ground.

The masked woman looked back, didn't care about him, flew all the way, and disappeared from Haolin's sight.

Sure enough, this girl is not an ordinary person, she is a cultivator, and she can't jump so far if she practices martial arts.

"Hey, just go, every bit of love. Haolin picked up a branch from the side and supported him to walk slowly.

After a while, the masked woman flew back again, raised her hand at Haolin, and a jade bottle flew over, Haolin caught it, and the woman didn't speak, and continued to lead the way in front, but this time she walked a little slower. Opening the jade bottle, Danxiang came: "What kind of medicine is this?"

"Poison!"

"I'm happy to be poisoned by you. Haolin poured out one and ate it as he spoke, and stuffed the rest into his arms.

"You're really welcome!"

"Hey, beauty, can you tell me your name?" Haolin deliberately diverted the subject.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Wang Haolin, and I'm from Huangyan University. ”

"Why don't you go to school and come here to find death?"

"Then what are you doing here?"

The masked woman did not leave him, and quickened her pace again.

"Hey, slow down, I said, I can't do it?" Haolin told Xiaofu about stealing the medicine.

"Well deserved. ”

A complaint from an innocent person called for a sentence that she deserved, Haolin glanced at her with black lines, simply shut up and concentrate on hurrying.

Gradually, there was less and less floating soil under his feet, the dark red earth was replaced by green, and the sparse vegetation seemed to tell Haolin that he had walked out of the burning mud swamp, and Haolin immediately relaxed and went to the ground.

The masked woman looked at him, jumped up, and swept into the distance.

"Hey, I don't know what your name is, is your name like a flower?" Haolin hurriedly shouted.

"Your name is Ruhua, your whole family is Ruhua! My name is Qingxuan!"

"The name is nice, but it's too unsympathetic. ”

After sitting on the wild grass all night, when I was running for my life, the tent was in the way, and it was thrown away a long time ago, and when I moved my ankles, the effect of the pill was different, and my feet moved freely.

Looking at the map and discerning the direction, Haolin strode forward, thinking about where to get a horse.

After walking all morning, except for the wild grass, it was still wild grass, Haolin looked at the sun above his head, his face was tired, he hadn't drunk water for a long time, and his mouth was bitter.

When he looked around, he vaguely saw that there seemed to be a horse standing in the distance, and Haolin couldn't help but be overjoyed.
